    I truly wish I had had a grandma like this…it actually reminds me of me, if I live that long. My 15 minutes of fame was in a roller rink. I was 8 and I won the “shoot the duck” contest. Ranks up there with my wedding day. Lovely illustration- your colors are gorgeous.

    That’s really funny! The way all the kids are placed the same as the old one ;-D

    This reminds me… I should have drawn Ann Richards for “aging” preferably on her motorcycle. Texas may have too much summer, but it certainly has feisty women. I know what you mean about depressing towns… but I like the ones with courthouses on the square, especially if they have been partially gentrified… The super-malls and other cathedrals to commercialism aren’t much improvement over the bare desert in my opinion.

    McKinney & Denton have galleries, soda shoppes, and book stores on the square… as do Kerville and Granbury… I prefer beach towns with the above amenities… Thanks for your suggestions.

    Oh, that’s great. We have ‘wrinklies’ in-line skating along the prom here, so much for the twin sets, pearls and blue rinses!
